LCOS microdisplays are characterized by their low power consumption, small size, and lightweight design. They are used in switchable adaptive optics, particularly as phase modulators, and as projection displays in augmented or virtual reality (AR/VR). Phase modulators, also known as spatial light modulators (SLMs), are used in biological imaging and microscopy, among other applications, for wavefront correction and beam shaping. The goal is to improve image resolution, minimize distortions caused by biological tissue, or protect samples. The new LCOS microdisplay from HOLOEYE and Fraunhofer IPMS utilizes an innovative CMOS backplane that enables high-speed light modulation….
